JOWE HEAD-PINCER MOVEMENT, LP, 1981, UK
This flat out staggering debut outing from early Swell Maps member and future Television Personalities bassist Jowe Head is 100% of a piece with the roughshod and riotous joie de vivre of the peak Swell Maps work of the era, possessing the same command of galvanizing post punk trashiness and conceptual/structural sophistication and the will to cheerfully pervert one by the other via unlikely juxtaposition. This album and the Richard Earl-Egg Store Ilk LP that I posted long ago really go some ways towards demonstrating that Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks weren't the only genius cartographers of the Swell Maps saga.

thanx for sharing!
erik my mang, you're a veritable paragon uv unfurling the obscure gems w/ these scintilatingly precise & noodle-baking write ups. truly, peeps actually make a living on deeds far less flavourful. not to hate, but the byron coley & david keene hype machines uv da whirled simply aint got the stuff, prolly cuz they aint real mutants. it was always u brother sir. this latest batch begins another peerless year for pondering previously obsfucated muscikal expsoure. sorry i keep giving u shit about not posting steve thomsen. cheers ~

The Megaupload link doesn't work, unfortunately. And Rapidshare (as usual) doesn't have any slots open for anyone that isn't a member. Thanks anyway, though!
that's simply untrue. my pals & eye all used the megaupload. perhaps the problem is u?
Thanks for this fantastic album! - Megaupload working just fine btw
